What competitor to ICANN?  Are you referring to the TLDA?  A trade 
association is not a competitor to ICANN and its membership would 
be open to ICANN as representative of the DoC, since DoC is a TLD 
holder.

AuDA?  Is a ccTLD a competitor?

His private business consulting business?  I don't think so.

I don't see where there was any more involved with Mr. Corliss' 
campaigning than yours, Eric.  I did not see anything on the list to 
indicate that there was anything amiss with the election.  As a 
matter of fact, considering the circumstances, I think it went 
extremely well.  Everyone had the opportunity to vote correctly and 
the tally was handled properly.  If the election were to be held 
today, I believe the results would be the same.
